Platycerium bifurcatum – Staghorn Fern

🌿🦌

The Platycerium bifurcatum, commonly known as the Staghorn Fern, is a striking epiphytic fern with antler-shaped fronds that grow outward in dramatic displays. Native to tropical regions, it naturally grows attached to trees, making it ideal for mounting on boards, hanging baskets, or displayed as a living wall feature indoors.

Key Features:

✔ Distinctive antler-like fronds for a sculptural look

✔ Epiphytic nature – can be mounted on wood or grown in hanging baskets

✔ Adds a bold, tropical statement to interiors

✔ Low-maintenance once established

✔ Perfect for unique and creative plant displays

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – avoid direct sun which may scorch fronds

• Watering: Water by soaking or misting; allow the root ball to dry slightly between waterings

• Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity – mist regularly if indoors

• Soil: If potted, use a well-draining mix with bark and sphagnum moss

• Feeding: Fertilise monthly in spring and summer with a diluted liquid feed

• Temperature: Thrives at 18–26°C; protect from drafts and frost

• Growth: Can grow 60–90 cm wide indoors with time

🌿 Tip: Mounting your Staghorn Fern on a wooden plaque or hanging it gives it a natural, sculptural display just like in the wild.
